Phytomed Medicinal Herbs Ltd
Premium Herbal Ingredients
At X-ZONE, we are committed to using only the highest quality herbal ingredients in our topical pain relief and muscle performance products. That’s why we source from Phytomed Medicinal Herbs Ltd, a local New Zealand-based company specialising in premium medicinal herbs and liquid extracts.
A Legacy of Quality and Innovation
Founded in 1998 by pharmacist and medical herbalist Phil Rasmussen, Phytomed has spent over 20 years supplying clinically relevant herbal extracts. Phil’s expertise in herbal medicine, combined with his passion for natural healing, led to the development of a range of herbal medicines that are now widely used by companies in New Zealand, Australia, and beyond.
Harnessing the Power of New Zealand’s Native Plants
Phytomed is dedicated to sustainability and ethical sourcing, with a strong focus on New Zealand native plants (Rongoā). Many native species offer therapeutic benefits comparable to imported or endangered plants, making them a sustainable choice. By working closely with local growers, Phytomed ensures a steady supply of high-quality, organic, and sustainably harvested ingredients.
Research-Driven Formulations
Phytomed collaborates with research institutions both locally and internationally to validate the efficacy of its herbal extracts. This commitment to science-backed innovation ensures that the ingredients we use in X-ZONE products deliver real results.
Certified for Quality and Safety
Phytomed adheres to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards, ensuring consistent quality and safety in all its herbal extracts. Regular audits by the New Zealand Ministry of Health further reinforce their commitment to excellence.
At X-ZONE, we are proud to partner with Phytomed to bring you the best in herbal pain relief - rooted in tradition, backed by science, and crafted with care.
